- In this video I wanted to discuss Anderson Plugs (Connectors) and why they are so good. I'll show you how you how to build an Anderson Powerpole Connector Cable I plan to use with my DIY solar testing. Anderson Power pole Connectors (and SB Series) are a solid connector to use in DIY Solar, Ham Radio, portable power stations, solar panel cables, e-bikes, amateur astronomy and and many others. I'll show you everything you will need and how to make you're own Anderson Plug Connection.

Best video on these I have seen and I have seen a lot. Thank you.
An entertaining and very informative video - thanks' for sharing, Christian.
You have to twist it on (clockwise) after the very first 'clean' strip. You'll find that works much better. Other than that, it's still a good video.
Thanks!
Very exciting heating music
Haha, I'm trying out different music to use in future time elapsed segments.
Crimping seems to be better than soldering. Soldering terminals allows solder to wick back into the wire braid (under the insulation), thus reducing the flexibility and creating stress points that can cause individual strands to break when the cable is flexed repeatedly. Crimp terminals have a nicely rounded edge that reduces any stress points near the crimp. Cables usually fail at or near the connectors due to flexing so minimizing that flex by adding stress relief is really important. I love both kinds of Anderson connectors.
Thanks for sharing and teaching me something new today!
Heavy duty contacts in circuit breakers always use Silver plated copper contacts because Silver (unlike tin or copper or aluminum) when it naturally Oxidizes over time is actually MORE conductive than the base metal. Silver is unique that way and that’s why these connectors have been used by radio guys for decades. For a connector that needs to handle a lot of current and take abuse and last a long time nothing beats it.
Thanks for sharing!
I want to use this port on my blueetti to add dc power to my rv by tying this into my dc box. I don’t want to remove my current batteries. Would that be a problem with back feeding the yetti with my rv batteries?
Thanks for commenting. I'm not sure that will actually work.
Great video very informative!!
Thank you!
RRTD Red right tongue down As ur looking at them Red on the right pins facing down
I'll try to remember that one. Thanks!
